Well after getting on another thread bout turbo td42's i went out and bought myself a boost controller today and turbosmart brand. How have ppl installed these on the patrol or gq's. I was hoping to use the hose that was already connecting the wastegate but its not long enough. I have some plastic diff breather hose left over will that work or will it melt under the heat? Pics would be nice.

That hose should be fine I have used fuel line for mine. Just make sure you put it the right way round, although the turbo smart ones are a very good unit.

Not at all.

In the GQ I ran it all the way to the right side of the steering wheel in the cab and back. Pointless as I will never adjust it on the fly. In the GUIV I just ran it up and zip tied it to the intercooler hose and ran it back down. Easy 10 in ute install.
